Setting up your forum profile

Anyone with a 23andMe account can access and participate in the 23andMe Forums. Forums content is only available to logged in 23andMe customers.

The first time you visit the Forums you will be prompted to log in and create a Forums username. Your Forums username and profile are completely separate from anything else in your 23andMe account. You can edit or update your username and other profile information at any time.

To edit your profile information, navigate to your profile page and click the Edit Profile button that appears on the upper right.

You will have the option to update profile information, including whether or not your email address is displayed on your profile. You can also add information relevant to your 23andMe account, such as a link to your family tree.

From this page you can also edit your profile photo and notification preferences for the Forums. You can choose to receive email or pop-up notifications about updates to threads you follow, messages from other members, and more.
